Japanese, Nazis and Jews: the Jewish refugee community of Shanghai. 1938-1945

Tells the story of how some 18,000 German and Austrian Jews (and 1,000 Polish Jews) escaped from Europe and survived the war in Japanese-occupied Shanghai. Of special interest to general readers and scholars alike is Kranzler's study of Japanese anti-semitism, based in this instance on a unique Japanese interpretation of "Jewish Power." The work of the Joint Distribution Committee is well covered.
